The 16-year-old was shot in the arm and abdomen about 3 a.m. at Topeka Park off Aspinwall Avenue in the city's South Collinwood neighborhood.

A security guard was in the parking lot of a nearby convenience store when he heard eight or 10 gunshots, a Cleveland police report says.

He saw two males making their way toward him a few minutes later. The 16-year-old was bleeding heavily and appeared as if he had several gunshot wounds to his torso, the report says.

The second male approached the guard and identified himself as the gunshot victim's brother, the report says. He yelled for help then walked toward St. Clair Avenue, leaving his brother with the guard, the report says.

Paramedics rushed the boy to University Hospitals where he was listed in critical but stable condition, the report says.

Officers found a blood trail outside the convenience store and traced it back to the playground at Topeka Park, the report says.

Detectives continue investigating the shooting, but no charges have been filed, according to court records and Cleveland police spokesman Det. Reginald Lanton.
